Bermuda has won approval from UK travel blogger Will Hide, who’s vowed to return after experiencing the Island’s charms.

A correspondent for the Daily Express, The Guardian and The Times, Mr Hide visited in November — reporting on his site ‘been there, done it’ that “the Bermudians were utterly charming, the beaches fantastic, and all in all it just has a seductive air that I totally fell in love with”.

The review pulls no punches either, opening with the observation that the “main thing I had heard about Bermuda before I went earlier this year was that it’s dull” — before adding “I loved it”.

And Mr Hide remarks “Ouch!” of Bermuda’s prices.

However the Island gets recommended for Londoners in combination with a trip to New York for a “detox-retox break”.

“There are places that I leave and say ‘nice but I won’t be back’ and then there are spots that, as I’m taxiing down the runway, I’ll think ‘yes, not sure when, but I will return here’ — and Bermuda is very definitely in the latter category,” he wrote.

The blog features scenes from Dockyard, St George’s and Hamilton, with an idyllic beach scene captioned: “Now THIS is why people come to Bermuda.”
